About me
Hey everyone,
I’m Laura and I’d like to share with you my first experience with organic honey.
I used to eat regular honey in the morning, on a slice of bread, and take some propolis pills when my throat was in pain. But that’s it. I have a three years old son, an incredible happy healthy boy, with only one little problem: poop! He wouldn’t poop! I had to note down every time it happened, so I knew how many days had passed until I could be entitled to freak out.
And one blessed day, I came across a countryman, selling all types of honey.
“Real honey!” he said.
Oh, come on, this is marketing strategy! Honey is honey and that’s it.
But before I said anything he gave me a teaspoon of fir tree honey. Oh My God…. What is this? Fir tree? But from what flowers? A fir-tree doesn’t have flowers…
The peasant smiled and then gave me another teaspoon of honey, forest honey this time, which I’ve learned it’s actually from honeydew and then another one, of something else.
I found out that my countryman was not a simple countryman, he had been selling organic certified honey for several years.
I bought 3 jars and went home.
My child enjoyed it too, had 2 slices of bread with honey that day, and the following days he kept asking for one. I gave him a slice of honey and bread at every breakfast. And the unexpected miracle happened.
He pooped each and every single day. Just like that.
Prior to this, I use to give honey to my child, but not very much, because I know beekeepers treat the bees with antibiotics, and I didn’t want to feed my child small amounts of antibiotics and then create resistance to them. But my “countryman” said the honey was organic, no antibiotics of any kind, no pesticides, no pasteurization and many other nos. So, I let my child eat it in all confidence.
Now, do tell me, how may days of desperation, how many glycerin suppositories and how many tears I would have avoided, if I had only known sooner about organic honey and its benefits. (Here is the page I wrote on this subject: Honey cures constipation?)
This is the reason I decided to share my discoveries on raw organic honey, to tell you guys about the wonders of this natural product and how can we use it to be healthy and happy. Our elders know a lot of secrets and I will do my best to discover and share them with you here. Our top scientists also keep discovering lots of things about this “miracle product” as they like to call it, and I will search all the available literature to keep you in touch with their latest discoveries.
I am neither a doctor, nor a beekeeper, but the mysteries of honey are not longer mysteries to me. I have discovered the multitude of the products taken from a hive, the benefits they bring to people, children or adults, their history, their secrets and not in the last place their incredible taste. It’s not all about treatment and therapy but also about enjoying a sweet amazing food.
If you want to find out which are the benefits of raw honey, to discover the elders’ secret recipes, and find out the latest news and research, or if you ever need any feedback or support regarding your health and diet, I would be very happy to connect. Simply leave your comment below and make sure you visit my site regularly as I am always updating it with interesting information.
Thank you for dropping by!
Cheers,

Have you tried other types of honey for constipation or is Fir/Honeydew type of honey the best for this sort of thing? We eat raw clover honey here and it doesn’t seem to help with constipation. I would like to replace it with the most laxative honey if you know which one that is?
Great website!
Thursday, April 12th 2018 at 12:41
Hi Bob,
Honeydew honey is indeed the most effective. The other honeys, blossom honeys, have a mild laxative effect under certain conditions: are taken in a correct dose (about 1g/kg bw/day), it’s raw and fresh (in the first 2, 3 months after harvesting). An old honey can cause constipation.
Ayurveda says:”..fresh honey helps to increase body mass while old honey produces constipation and decreases body mass.”.
From the blossom honeys here are some suggestions:
Against constipation: coriander, sidr honeys.
Against diarrhea: apple, blackberry, red clover, oregano, Moroccan oregano honey.
Honeys with researched prebiotic effect (which will feed good bacteria in the gut, thus improving digestion): sourwood, alfalfa, clover, sage, chestnut. – remember that it must be raw, fresh and in the correct dose! 🙂
Here are some useful articles: What honey is the best for me? and Honey cures constipation.
All the best! L.

Hi Laura, I once heard that Tupelo honey is best for diabetics but have been unable to find anything to verify this. I am a Type II Diabetic for a long time now, trying to decrease and eventually get off of insulin and Metformin, but still use a little honey in my diet because I enjoy it so much. Would you know about this honey, what it is good for, and where to get good quality if worthwhile? I have found Tupelo hard to get hold of in recent years and now, not able to get at all. Is there a comparison with Manuka honey? Any other honey particularly better for diabetics? Have you heard of a minimum &/or maximum amount to consume for health? Many thanks for any info you can share on this.
Wednesday, August 21st 2019 at 04:20
If you would like to try raw stingless bee honey or ‘kelulut honey’ which is very good for diabetics, you may contact me. Thank you.
Saturday, March 24th 2018 at 01:38
Tupelo raw honey is available from http://www.registerfamilyfarm.com They are located in Florida. I know because I just ordered this wonderful honey 10 days ago.
Tuesday, March 20th 2018 at 14:05
Hi Faiga,
Bee products have indeed solutions for diabetes. The first to mention is royal jelly, with really good results. Please read “Royal jelly is an efficient natural treatment for diabetes type 2” and you’ll see. Then there are other articles on this subject, Can diabetics eat honey?, Does honey raise blood sugar? Does honey make you fat?
As for honeys, acacia, chestnut, thyme have high fructose content, like tupelo, you can switch to any of them. But do not take manuka honey. See here why not:Can diabetics eat MANUKA HONEY?
I apologize for not giving you a straight answer, there really is too much to write. Please read those articles.

Hi Surin,
I’m not sure what you mean. Could you rephrase, please? Would you like to buy mad honey?
Laura

I am interesting Mad honey, in Thailand you sold 500g of honey, how much price.

Yasas, I live on the Greek island –Ikaria— the Blue Zone island of longevity as Dan Buettner calls it in his book about the 5 Blue Zones of the world. We have amazing pure raw honey from here. No pesticides or plantations on this island, just rugged, mountainous terrain so the bees are free to scout the variety. Can you or may I post a link for your readers to go see or buy some. We ship to America and throughout Europe. Lovely site you have. I just found it. Robyn emea@ikariahoney.com
Tuesday, August 8th 2017 at 16:46
Hi Robyn,
Please write a comment in my article about Ikaria honey, here: http://healthywithhoney.com/ikaria-honey-or-what-is-the-secret-for-a-long-life/
I have already mentioned your site in this article, but it may help if you give some details about samples, jars, prices etc. Also add FB page or Twitter, if you have.
And I promise to redirect to you any potential customer, whenever I have the opportunity. (I love Greece and everything connected to it. Last month I was in vacation in Zakynthos and bought some thyme honey from the locals. Exquisite!)

hi ,can you please let me know that i need seed of Nigella sativa ,BLACK cumin seed i,m lookin , can you help to get me these seeds,
Wednesday, May 18th 2016 at 09:03
Hi Mubashir,
Have you tried on Amazon? On my page http://healthywithhoney.com/black-seed-honey-a-natural-cure-cancer-is-gone/ you can find links to Amazon, just click on the picture with the seeds. The same is here: http://healthywithhoney.com/how-to-cure-hiv-the-black-seeds-nigella-sativa-have-the-answer/
But you can also try at your local herb shops, or online ones. Nigella Sativa grows almost everywhere, we just don’t know it.
The capsules are obviously easier to take, even considered to be better than the oil.
Good luck!
Laura

Wow. This is indeed an impressive site on honey. Thank you, Laura. And the Manuka/Black Seed combination is exactly what I am researching for my Basal Cell Carcinoma and hopefully, IBS-C.
Saturday, September 19th 2015 at 18:19
Hi Dennis,
Thank you for your appreciation. I hope you will find the materials you need for your research. Manuka honey is indeed a very good honey, especially for external application, but Nigella Sativa is for me an amazing product. And which is not even half as much studied (as manuka) not to mention advertised! It is true that the Nestle company tried to “acquire the rights over it”! Seems like they saw the potential of this little seed.
For my digestive problems, honey mixed with ground black seed really worked.
Good luck with your project!

Nice meeting you, Laura! What a great website you have here!! You did such an awesome job putting together all of this info which is so beneficial for people’s health and wellness! I’m so glad I came across it! We like honey too (our favorite breakfast is toasted bagels with cream cheese and honey on top -my kids and I love it!). I’ll be back to read more of this!! Thanks again!
Friday, August 14th 2015 at 19:03
Nice to meet you too, Claudia. Never give up at this morning habit. Honey is perfect on top of anything. Add some walnuts and you’ll have a super-food!

Nice site Laura. Love the information too. You’ve covered more about honey that I have ever heard. I knew it had benefits, but Wow! Thanks, I will keep reading.
Sunday, May 3rd 2015 at 18:04
Hi Bill, honey is a not a super-food. It’s a wonder-food! It’s a miracle-food!
You can say I’m in love with it. 🙂
thanks for your comment

Very Interesting blog…all about honey and it’s benefits.Me and my daughter were sick a bout a month ago ..cough..etc…I wondered if honey would be good..especially since that’s what most everyone in my family has, still does and seems like they aways will suggest. I felt skeptical because it has been so commonly “prescribed” by them, for MOST anything..huh, guess they were right. Btw, how did the ancients cure their sicknesses? Everything I would presume would be organic. Glad I found you. Thanks.
Sunday, February 22nd 2015 at 11:20
Hi Lydia,
Yes, they are right. But the best way to enjoy honey’ therapeutic properties is to take it on a daily bases, if possible to replace sugar with it. This way you will eat the perfect quantity necessary to prevent any disease.
And if a cold, a flue or whatever comes along, we should remember the perfect combination to treat them. Honey is best taken in combination with other food that enhance each others properties.
For example: honey and onion, honey and cinnamon, honey and black radish, honey and lemon, honey and black seeds. Even the synthetic gentamicin is more effective in our body, if our diet contains honey. Scientifically proven fact! 🙂

Hello Laura, I want to congratiolate you with your wonderful site, and with winning the comment lottery from today. I know how healthy bee products are, the pollen to help by allergy, the cold prepared honey for burning wounds, the propolis for conquering infections, really great product. We must be very careful with our bees. One thing, never ever give honey and bee products to a child under 1 years of age. It has an ingredient what is not good for babies. Wish you a lot of success with this terrific website, greetings Loes
Thursday, February 12th 2015 at 15:53
Hi Loes,
Thank you for your good words. Your game with the comment lottery sounds like good fun.
About the “ingredient” in the honey, which makes it bad for infants, here are some more details: When can kids have honey?
thanks for the lottery! 🙂
Laura
Friday, August 15th 2014 at 15:20
Hi Laura
Just wanted to say what a great site you have here. I knew that honey was better for you than sugar but I didn’t know there are other benefits. I’m going to have a good look at your information here, my whole family could get something from this!
Cheers, Tony.
Monday, August 18th 2014 at 17:00
Thank you, Tony. And the scientists continue to discover more and more uses for it. Actually all the products bees give us. Correction, all the products we take from the bees. 🙂

Hi Laura,
Great Site!
I have been an advocate of Honey for years and am well pleased to come across a site like this.
Every day for me begins with an ‘Elixir’ i created – quite a potent brew.
3/4 tsp minced Garlic, 1/3 teaspoon minced Ginger, natural Lemon juice, two tsp Apple-Cider Vinegar, 1 full tsp Organic Honey, some Cinnamon and finally Fenugreek seeds/kibbled. Fill the mug with hot water and enjoy 🙂
Keep up the good work Laura and I wish you well.
Blessings Be,
– Rich
Monday, August 18th 2014 at 17:04
Hi Rich, and thank you for your elixir. I will use it in my testimonials pages, it is very important for everybody to see old beneficial recipes, that help our body go through our daily difficulties.
Thank you again,
laura
Tuesday, May 27th 2014 at 19:16
Laura, I love to look at the design of your website. I have done natural health research for a while now, and I know that there is health benefits to real, organic honey. I have used honey with cinnamon before, just not everyday or frequently like I should to get the full benefits. Just wanted to let you know to keep up the good work of sharing your vital info with the whoever will read and listen.
Saturday, May 31st 2014 at 14:39
Thank you. I promise I will. 🙂 laura

Felicitari pentru postare,perfect adevara cele spuse despre produsele din stup, am si eu stupi si nu am folosit antibiotice niciodata
Wednesday, April 30th 2014 at 19:10
Buna Vali,
Antibioticele sunt uneori necesare. Decat sa-ti moara albinele mai bine le tratezi cu antibiotice, nu? Dar ulterior mierea trebuie verificata foarte temeinic, in laboratoare specializate, pentru a verifica cantitatea de reziduu antibiotic din miere.
Spor la miere!

Wednesday, April 2nd 2014 at 20:13
Hi Laura,
maybe you can get a price list for the natural honey, take orders online and pass them on to be drop shipped so you can make a bit of an income from a great blog … very original!
Franto in Toronto

Hey Franto,
I’ll do that very soon, after I complete the info here. Thanks.

Tuesday, April 1st 2014 at 14:43
Love the info on honey benefits! I use propolis myself, daily, and it helps me immensely with my seasonal allergies.
Thursday, April 3rd 2014 at 05:59
Propolis is an excellent choice. It helps me with my sore throat. I take one tablet immediately after I sense a little discomfort and everything comes back to normal 10 minutes after that.
I’m glad you’ve found a natural way to fight your allergies. It’s way better than using antihistamines.
laura
Monday, March 24th 2014 at 15:53
Laura, This is an awesome post. I have learned a great deal from you. Especially the health benefits. My granddaughter will benefit from what I have learned from you.
Thanks

Monday, March 24th 2014 at 16:41
Hey Andy,
I started this site because of this experience. A mother worries a lot out of nothing, and this is a serious matter. 🙂 And honey is not a medicine, it’s food, one we forgot about. I want to remember it to everyone and start enjoying it again.
thanks for dropping by.

Monday, March 24th 2014 at 15:15
I loved reading your story here Laura! Thanks for sharing it. I suffer with a lack of ‘poop’ syndrome myself and haven’t thought of honey as a treatment.
Monday, March 24th 2014 at 16:49
Well, consider introducing honey in your diet. I will be posting recipes soon so stay close!
thank you for your comment and please tell me when you try it.
